God will sometimes send an earthquake
To release the prison chains
That have locked us up in bondage,
Missing blessings He ordains.
The trials that come to shake our lives
That inflict on us great stress
Are intended to unshackle us
So that God can truly bless.
In all things God works for our good
To each one who bears His Name.
Our trials provide us blessings
We alone can rightly claim.
Imprisoned by complacency,
God will shake us to our core
To release the chains of apathy
So that we might serve Him more.

About Me
- LINDA
- I was born in the naval port of Norfolk, Virginia, the daughter of a US Navy Master Chief. With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
